Overview

About 12 Heath Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

12 Heath Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 4DH). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump.

It hasn't traded since July 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £347,000 sits 285.6% above the 2000 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£91/sq ft) was about 59.6% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 12 Heath Road is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO3 4DH. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 12 Heath Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 12 Heath Road was lodged in July 2020 at band E and is valid until July 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 12 Heath Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO3 4DH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Heath Road is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
